Do you have a collection of ongoing related events? Try the Event Series module to collect events onto a single page and display upcoming and past events.

Previously it was only available to our Jumpstart clients, but high demand for this functionality on Stanford Sites, combined with our commitment to contributing back to the greater community brought this module to sites created on Stanford Sites.

Stanford Events is Stanford University's central calendar.
